The 1933 house is gone. What's left is a true corner lot in Mid Beach — 13,900 SF, 100x139, cleared and ready — and a full set of drawings by Touzet Studio, the firm behind The Setai, for a 6,800 SF contemporary home. That's the part land buyers rarely get handed: the slowest, most expensive year of a ground-up build — design, engineering, the path through permitting — is already done and conveys with the lot. Fairgreen Drive is the quiet, canopied street most of Miami Beach drives past. You're beside the new Bayshore Park, minutes from the Miami Beach Golf Club, Sunset Harbor, the beach, and Lincoln Road. Temporary electric is in. Bring your builder, We can Build it for you, or refine the plans and make them yours. Either way, you start years ahead.
